[[
8) In the boxes describing keydown, keyup and keypress, you describe the
altKey, and related event properties using the word "depressed".
Elsewhere you've used vaguer language like "activated", and I've assumed
that is to account for the possibility of locking modifier keys for
accessibility reasons. If so, you should probably change "key is
depressed" to "modifier is active" in these boxes. (Past tense might
actually be better: "modifier was active").
